Pewnego dnia Franklin zaprzyjaźnił się ze starszym kolegą, który się miał na imię Królik Jacek. Nauczył on jeździć Franklina na deskorolce. Franklin chciał być taki jak Jacek i mieć swoją własną deskorolkę. Rodzice Franklina uważali jednak, że jest na to za mały. Żółwik spędził jeden dzień pracując z Jackiem. Za ciężko zarobione pieniądze kupił cukierki, którymi podzielił się z Misiem.

A book in the Franklin the Turtle series. Fun and cute.

[Minyi · Rating 4 out of 5]

The book is good for K to 3rd grade kids. It is a fantasy book which talks about a turtle kid, Franklin, wants to act like an older kid Jack Rabbit, a big kid in the neighborhood. After the story, adult could ask kids would they like to act as others. This story is a good lesson to teach younger kids the attitude of being a young kid. Especially some kids always ask their parents to buy something for no reason. They need to learn that Jack Rabbit worked so hard to earn money for his college. The same thing, parents worked hard to earn money in order to keep the house and feed the family. Kids need to know that, too. It is a good idea that adults talk about the behind lesson to the kids.
